The Demon Suppression Guards were, of course, issued sabers.
Standard-issue battle blades, mass-produced by the Demon Slayer Bureau. Every guard had one.
In terms of quality, they would have been considered Divine Weapons in the past.
After Gu Zheng was assigned his, he tested it and found it inferior to the Celestial Frost Blade.
So, he put the issued saber into his storage leaf and carried the Celestial Frost Blade instead.
Who would have thought that not only would the Celestial Frost Blade fail to cut through the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon's claws, but it would actually be shattered by them?
If the Celestial Frost Blade couldn't stand up to it, the Demon Suppression Guard's issued saber wouldn't be able to either.
His Frenzy Battle Saber Technique, at the Great Success Realm, allowed him to fight the Three-Striped Lizard Snake Demon on even terms.
But without a saber in hand, or with one that wasn't good enough, how could he possibly fight?
"BOOM—"
